What will the students at St Monica’s do to support this program?


Students will complete a series of tasks in order to gain their Laptop Learners Licence. The licence will cover the responsibilities and the skills that the student will need to understand before taking the MacBook home. (see LLL page)

Students are responsible for
  • looking after their MacBook (see Looking after your MacBook page);
  • making sure that system preferences, settings and software are not modified or deleted unless instructed by the teacher;
  • ensuring that the MacBook is used as a learning tool at school and at home.
  • not sharing their MacBook with siblings or friends.
  • abiding by the rules and responsibilities set out in this document and the tasks described in the Laptop Learners Licence.


When at home students could use their MacBook to
  • access online collaborative websites such as class blogs and wikis (Internet)
  • use school email (Internet)
  • access online resources for school projects and special interest (Internet)
  • create multimedia projects that form a part of school projects (iLife)
